Lawmaker Linked With Kelvin, Kidnap Kingpin
Between Western Ideals And Islamic Identity
The biggest lie the West ever created, was convincing the world that its
values were universal and 'neutral'. But unbeknownst to most people,
its values are based upon its own particular worldview, which is quite
distinct and antithetical to most of the world's (original) belief/law
systems. Thus like how the U.S. promotes the dollar, the West printed
out its intellectual currency, and asked everyone to use it as a
universal standard for moral and intellectual transactions. But like how
the dollar is linked to US economy, so Western values are linked to
their beliefs and worldview. And if ones fails, so does the other.
It is for this reason that, the 'values' of (the Western conception of) 'Human Right's', 'Freedom', 'Democracy', 'Democratic legitimacy' [unless you vote for an Islamic party], and (the Western concept of) 'Equality' - are so ubiquitous in global usage. Now anywhere you travel, you can intone these 'sacred' and 'holy' words, and instantly gain some moral currency.
After the ravages of colonialism upon the Muslim mind, many Muslims have taken to dangerously using this currency to explain Islam and demand justice for themselves.
This is because the Western worldview [or intellectual bank] highly esteems those words, and many Muslims have succumbed to the use of them, in order to placate the demands of Western societies. So we see Muslims use words like Democracy, Secularism, Feminism, Humanism and Freedom, not only to demand justice for themselves, but also as descriptions for aspects of Islam!
Such Muslims obliviously and naively use words impregnated with foreign and blatantly un-Islamic concepts, with the excuse (they tell themselves) that if they assign them a different meaning to the patiently obvious meanings they have, they will somehow be 'ok' to use.
